Dude Weekend Cooks: Root Beer Pork Loin

This dude was happy to cook for Mr. and Mrs. Brown in August.  I put together a recipe I enjoyed the prior weekend.  It was a big hit!

1 pork loin
1 can/bottle of root beer - I used IBC
1 white onion
BBQ sauce
Slider rolls

Slice the onion and place in slow cooker.  Next, pour the root beer.  Finally, drop the pork anchor.  Cook on lower in the slow cooker for about four hours, until it reaches 145 F.  Drain, reserving some of the cooking water.  Mix it up with a little bit of BBQ sauce - enough to just coat.  Leave more out as a condiment.  Viola!

Smackdown!

The last thing I want to do is get involved in a debate of the plausibility of Mormonism. However, I can't deny the smackdown Hertzberg lays on Romney in his New Yorker blog post . As Hertzberg clearly points out you can't have it both ways and say that there should not be a religious litmus test for candidates, then profess your belief that Jesus is the Son of God (in effect playing right into the litmus test you just denounced), then become upset when people question the tenets of you own religious faith (which has many detractors including many of the largest Christian denominations in the US).

Romney should have taken a page out of JFK's playbook and stated that as president he will only answer to the American people, not the President of his church. I think that would have finally ended this discussion.

I'm a classical fan myself...
